Self-Care is an important part of taking care of your emotions. Self-Care consists of the safe and healthy activities or practices you do in order to calm down, cheer up, or feel better. You can practice self-care alone or with others, by relaxing or being active, and wherever you feel comfortable. Self-care can be working out, meditating, coloring, reading, watching your favorite movie, spending time with your pets, and many other things.

Empathy is the ability to imagine what other people are feeling along with the ability to sense other people’s emotions. It is important to be able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes to understand their perspective and to help you be nonjudgmental.
